Description

• Added a new GitHub Actions workflow file .github/workflows/snyk-container.yml for vulnerability scanning of Docker images using Snyk.
• The workflow is triggered on push and pull request events on the main and Map branches, and also on a schedule (every Saturday at 13:18).
• The workflow checks out the code, builds a Docker image, and scans that image for vulnerabilities using Snyk. The results are then uploaded to GitHub Security Code Scanning.
• The job runs on an ubuntu-latest environment and requires specific permissions for actions/checkout to fetch code, github/codeql-action/upload-sarif to upload SARIF results, and actions read for a private repository.

PR Analysis

(review updated until commit 3f2b81b)

• 🎯 Main theme: Adding a new GitHub Actions workflow for vulnerability scanning of Docker images
• 📝 PR summary: This PR introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow that builds a Docker image, scans it for vulnerabilities using Snyk, and uploads the results to GitHub Security Code Scanning. The workflow is triggered on push and pull request events on the main and Map branches, and also on a schedule (every Saturday at 13:18).
• 📌 Type of PR: Enhancement
• 🧪 Relevant tests added: No
• ⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]: 2, because the PR is straightforward and only involves adding a new GitHub Actions workflow file. However, it requires knowledge of GitHub Actions and Snyk to review effectively.
• 🔒 Security concerns: Yes, because the Snyk API token is being fetched from the secrets but there is no validation or error handling in case the secret is not set or is invalid. This could potentially lead to a failure in the workflow run.

PR Feedback

💡 General suggestions: The PR is well-structured and the new GitHub Actions workflow is a great addition for improving the security of the Docker images. However, it would be beneficial to add more comments in the workflow file to explain the purpose of each step, especially for those who are not familiar with Snyk or GitHub Actions.

🤖 Code feedback:

---

relevant file	.github/workflows/snyk-container.yml
suggestion	It's recommended to avoid hardcoding the Docker image name (your/image-to-test) in the workflow file. Instead, consider using GitHub secrets or environment variables to store the Docker image name. This would make the workflow more flexible and secure. [important]
relevant line	run: docker build -t your/image-to-test .

---

relevant file	.github/workflows/snyk-container.yml
suggestion	The Snyk scan is set to continue-on-error: true, which means the workflow won't fail even if vulnerabilities are found. Depending on the project's policy, you might want to set this to false to ensure that any vulnerabilities cause the workflow to fail and alert the team. [medium]
relevant line	continue-on-error: true
